Going 100% in on YOU: How "all-in" changes everything
About this episode
3 Years ago, when I started this podcast, I decided to go 100% in on myself. The first of many times I would show up for ME.
I’ve learned since that when you take a bet on yourself, when you’re willing to go “all in”, you end up showing up even more fully for others.
Today, to celebrate the 3-Year Podiversary of Small Business Casual (previously named “Content with Character”) and my 40th bday, I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing behind-the-scenes truths, learnings, and fun factoids about running the show and SO much more. I share honestly what it’s like to start a podcast, share consistently, and wonder whether or not anyone is actually even out there…
You’ll hear:
- Why I started a podcast (and what others had to say about it)
- My favorite podcast resources
- How I deal with creative blocks and self-doubt
- What to do when you have to pivot drastically
- What I’d do differently if I started over today
- Why I keep showing up week after week
- The weird ingredient I add to my Yerba Maté
- And more!
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for being a part of this journey with me! Let’s celebrate OUR milestone, together!
